AceShowbiz - Candace Parker and Aliyah Boston returned with a new episode of their weekly series Post Moves, in which the two WNBA stars worked through the league's biggest talking points, including Caitlin Clark's on-court chirping, Kelsey Mitchell's exit interview, A'ja Wilson's technical foul and a look ahead to the semifinals.

Post Moves is an AMP Sports Original Series, hosted by Parker, a three-time WNBA champion, two-time league MVP and Olympic gold medalist, alongside Boston, a three-time WNBA All-Star and the 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year.

One of the episode's most-discussed segments centered on Clark, who Parker said directed a comment her way after hitting a big three. "I was just minding my business at the sports table and Caitlyn Clark just hit a big three, and then said…" Parker recalled, before Boston jumped in with a question of her own: "Because what you thought this was, Candace?"

Parker then tried to pin down the exact wording. "Did she say what you thought this was, or did she say, 'What the f*ck did you think this was?' I think she said, 'What the f*ck do you think this is?' I don't know. But I just kind of was like, 'Yeah, great shot.' Let's keep it moving," Parker said. "I'm just sitting here minding my own business, but I love it. And it seems like there are certain players that get riled up and love the chaos. I was one of those players that was like, 'Please talk mess to me. Please point in my face. Please do those things to get me angry!'"

Parker also shared her vantage point on the technical foul assessed to Wilson after an incident involving a fan behind the basket stanchion. "A'ja was assessed a technical foul for unsportsman-like conduct after a fan was seen behind the basket stanchion pointing, and you can see him take one or two steps towards the court and point, and A'ja took exception to that," Parker said. "I think on the broadcast, we didn't understand what occurred and we, as a learning point, can't assume what has happened. However, the previous game that I broadcasted, one of the Indiana fans did say something and got escorted out. And so on the broadcast, I actually got the (wrist slap) 'don't assume.' But A'ja was assessed the technical for going into the stands. Fever Security removed the fan and then actually brought the fan back. And then Fever Security said that he didn't violate any fan code of conduct. It was just an interesting vantage point."

Turning to Mitchell, Parker reflected on the guard's exit interview and her stated need to put herself first. "She was very loud in her exit interview about making it clear that she has to be selfish: 'I think that's where I'm at in my career, what I probably need and what's probably best for me. So I have to be selfish in that room,'" Parker said. "And when I tell y'all, Kelsey Mitchell has been through all of the ups and downs with the Fever from playing in barns to playing at colleges to now playing in the newly renovated arena, to losing 28 times in a season to now winning 28 times. I've played against Kelsey Mitchell in all of those eras… as you get older, you realize you do have to be a little bit selfish, but it is just crazy because she has stuck with the Fever through all of that, and now you guys are kind of winning."

The episode also addressed Cheryl Reeves' postgame comments about Rookie of the Year Olivia Miles, with Parker defending the rookie while making clear her respect for the coach. "I respect the mess out of Cheryl Reeves. I think she is one of the best coaches to ever coach in the WNBA. But I do feel like she could have helped Olivia Miles a little bit more," Parker said. "I think your first time in the playoffs as a rookie, it's an adjustment. And I do feel like in terms of helping means maybe taking the load off a little bit and not making it... Some of the comments that were after the series, I think she said 'rendered ineffective' or something, which, I'm going to start using my vocabulary… But in all seriousness, the type of season that Olivia Miles had, I don't know if you understand until you experience it, the switch that happens in the postseason. The stuff you did in the regular season doesn't happen in the postseason. And she's an amazing player. So I think the sky's the limit for Olivia, but I just feel like you can't leave your rookie out to dry like that."

Alongside those discussions, Parker and Boston looked ahead to the WNBA semifinals, breaking down Game 1 of the round. The episode, the show's 51st, also covered the Indiana Fever's exit from the playoffs.
